I'm sorta looking forward to this. You get to design all of the LEGO bandmates, roadies etc. Playing gigs earns you LEGO blocks (instead of money) which you use to build your bus, plane etc. i thought that was pretty clever.

Plus, 2 of the songs they've announced are Blur's "Song 2" and Europe's "The Final Countdown". It's worth the money just for those.

I haven't read anything on compatibility with other RB games/tracks.

I'm looking forward to this also,
but not for the 'Lego' graphic user interface,
i might be cool and fun though.

No that mostly means a disc, with maybe
50, 60 and maybe up to 80 songs on it,
that we might have the right with a unique
download code (a la AC/DC) to transfert
all those songs to our DLC folder for RB2.

Harmonix haven't confirmed neither denied this,
we will received more info at the E3 in june.

I will grab wathever Rock Band will throw at me,
what a wonderful video-game.
